Specification of Letters Patent...

Application and July 20, 1908. Serial No. 444,4.33.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN a citizen of the United States, residing in Norwood, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new' and useful Improvements in Suit-Hangers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The purpose of my invention is to provide an exceedingly light, cheapand durable coat .and suit hanger, which shall at the same time furnish ample surfacefor the display of advertising matter without in any way detracting from the utilityof the construction as a hanger.

Thebody of formed from paper tubing'of diameter suflicient to furnish a suitable space around the tube for advertising matter, while at the same time, a strong and light form'is provided for the support of the coat, and in con nection with which a hanger for trousers can be readily secured.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of my lmproved hanger ready for use. F1g. 2- 1s a perspective v ew of the various parts from which the hanger. is constructed;

Fig. 3 is a central vertical section of'the cut on a bevel and secured together by a dowel pin 3 to form anobtuse angle with.

each other. Papertubes 4 and 5 of suitable length, and correspondingly beveled at their meeting edges, are provided of a diameter tofit snugly over. the wood cylinders to which they are secured, by gluing-or other-.

wise, to make a substantial anddurable form for the support of a coat.

6 is a wire rod hich is driven through the central portion of the wood cylinders at the apex of the cylinders and this wire is suitably bent to form a hook 7 for the support of the hanger. Paper disks 8, 8 with a central eyelet 9 are glued into the outer open ends of the tubes to stifi'en the tubes at the .outer endsand also to-serve' as a means of attachment for the trousers hanger.

This trousers hangercomprises a rod 10, of wood or other tsuitable material, and the rod is se- L. HENDERSON,

the hanger is therefore.

cured in place as shown in Fig. 1 by the hooks 11, 11, one end of each hook being bent to pass through the ends of the rod 10, and the other end being so bent at 12, asto hook within the eyelet 9, thus holding the rod 10,

securely in position. By thus making use of paper tubing for the hanger form, with a solid wooden cove at the middle for ]01I l ing the tubes together and reinforcing the outer ends of the tubing by the disks, an ex ceedingly strong and durable form'is provided which at the same time is light and easy of construction.

The large size of the tubing fills out the shoulders'of the garment, preventing sagging and wrinkling, at the same time the surface of the tubing gives ample space for advertising matter of the party furnishing the hanger.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is z 1. Ina device of the character specified, a.

core of wood, comprising beveled plugs secured together at an obtuse angle, and tubes of paper material secured on said plugs to form an angular frame for a coat support,

' and hook for suspending the hanger mounted in said core.

2. In a device of the character specified, a pair of tubes of paper material, with means for securing said tubes together at an obtuse angle to form a coat supporting frame, and a rod extending between the outer ends of said tubes with hooks secured to said rod and engaging the ends of the tubes to hold the rod in place.

3. In a device of the character specified, a

pair of'tubes of paper material, means for securing said tubes together at an obtuse angle to form a coat supporting frame, disks secured in the outer ends of said tubes to strengthen and support the tubes, said disks havingcentral eyelets, a rod extending. be-

tween the outer ends of. said tubes and hooks secured to the ends of said rod and engaging the disk eyelets to hold the rod in place.
